It is possible to clear the AutoFill memory in Google Chrome. Clearing the AutoFill data can be useful if you want to remove any saved information such as usernames, passwords, and form data from your browser. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to clear AutoFill memory in Chrome:
1. Open Chrome and click on the menu icon (three vertical dots) located at the top right corner of the browser window.
2. From the drop-down menu, select “History”. This will open a new tab with your browsing history.
3. In the History tab, you will see a menu on the left side. Click on “History” again. This will display your browsing history in a new window.
4. Now, you have two options to clear AutoFill memory. The first option is to press the keyboard shortcut “CTRL+SHIFT+DEL” simultaneously. This will bypass steps 1-3 and directly open the Clear browsing data window. The second option is to click on the “Clear browsing data” button located on the left side menu.
5. In the Clear browsing data window, you can choose the time range for which you want to clear the data. To clear all saved data, select “the beginning of time” option from the drop-down menu.
6. The Clear browsing data window provides various types of data that you can choose to clear. Make sure the “Autofill form data” checkbox is selected. You can also select other checkboxes if you want to clear additional data such as browsing history, cookies, and cached images.
7. Once you have selected the desired options, click on the “Clear browsing data” button to begin the clearing process. Chrome will now clear all the selected data, including the AutoFill memory.
It is important to note that clearing AutoFill memory will remove all saved data, including usernames, passwords, and form entries. Therefore, you may need to re-enter this information the next time you visit websites or fill out forms.
